Mr. Speaker. we have seen today on the floor of this House an exhibition of callousness which must sadden all Americans who believe in justice. Sixteen members of the executive board of a charitable organization engaged in raising funds for the relief of refugees from fascism in Francos Spain. have been cited for contempt of this House after 20 minutes of debate. Whether or not a court upholds our vote for contempt indictments. we have given these people a black name. Yet a large number of our colleagues chose to limit debate on this matter affecting the entire lives of 16 peopleto 20 minutes.
